The purpose of the privacy policy is to protect information. The things to remember when practicing privacy are:
Endeavour Hills Neighbourhood Centre Inc. also known as ehillsnc is committed to upholding the principles of privacy as contained in The Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014, the Health Records Act 2001 and any other relevant legislation. Ehillsnc receives funding from the Department of Education and Training, Department of Health and Human Services, Adult Community & Further Education and the City of Casey, and as recipients of funding the Centre is required to comply with government law, legislation, regulations and policies.
All restricted license or occasional care children’s services will need to comply with the Victorian Health Records Act 2001 because a large percentage of the information they collect on children could be considered as ‘health information’.
All breaches to this policy will be treated seriously and may be subject to disciplinary action.
